Of course, capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, etc etc damage our abilities to care for ourselves. Time poverty, financial poverty, inaccessibility... But snatching moments can be the beginning of a wider practice whilst we endeavour to better society.

[Ollamh Counselling @OllamhC]

Reading "Self Care For Empaths" by @TanyaBlessings, and although it's written for specific traits in a personality, much of the ideas here are hugely beneficial. During our era of time poverty, finding even moments for ourselves to transition through the day is helpful. #selfcare

Although the worlds of therapy, psychology, magick, and politics use differing language, finding parallels between our selves for a unified self care routine is both an exciting discovery, and necessary to support ourselves in a troubled environment.

[Ollamh Counselling @OllamhC]

I wrote some thoughts on the passing of #QueenElizabeth, and where theory, praxis, empathy, and reality overlap. Trying to find the grace between anarchic activism and church-going community. I hope this gives some food for thought:

Suffering is a fact of nature, & how we frame it an act of culture.

Starting my day and sending love and solidarity to you all 💜✊🏽❤️

All my writing on therapy, society, politics & spirituality are available through both my Medium but also as pay-what-you-feel downloads from my kofi account. Anything you can donate will help me so much during our current economic swings and roundabouts!

Saying ‘no’ is a really important part of setting our boundaries. Boundaries are the things we put in place that show others how to treat us. They help people understand what we’re ok with, and what we’re not.

We're devastated to hear this and we stand by our friends at @Mermaids_Gender. 🏳️‍⚧️

In light of the temporary closure of Mermaids' helpline and webchat services, you can find a list of alternative help and resources for trans & non-binary people here: https://t.co/1VcHVzi5ro

Breaking news 🚨

Recently when I’ve told ppl I’m from Bradford they’ve reacted super positively & mentioned it being the City of Culture, which is very nice ofc, but doesn’t negate the difficulty of growing up in the areas I did as a mixed race (queer + autistic) kid.

On this day in 1936, thousands of working-class Londoners stood alongside the East-End Jewish community to defeat Oswald Mosley.

Today, we remember the Battle of Cable Street, and celebrate the bravery of those who stopped fascists in their tracks.

This feels like a real period of instability within @BACP. Of course, change happens. But I would really like to see BACP pause, regroup, and clarify their leadership and direction before trying to move forward. Members need confidence in their membership body and how it’s run.

[Ollamh Counselling @OllamhC]

I've started to begin my days with these affirmations (a nice intersection of magick & therapy) from #MadisonMindset. I often lose sight of my own self care, and this has been hugely beneficial.

#Depression is experienced differently by each of us. You can joke & smile, and still be depressed. You can socialise with friends, and still be depressed. You can post on social media, and still be depressed. #MentalHealth

All my work is free for increased accessibility, but if anyone wants to support me through this cost of living crisis (altho9ugh I bemoan the term, as I explore in the article) you can "pay what you feel" my work here:

I discovered this through @nickhayesillus1 wonderful work on Trespassing which everyone should check out

Keep your eyes peeled for a new essay by yours truly coming out later today. Before then, to clear my head after some intense safeguarding training, a self care walk through the greenery to get some local eggs!

[Ollamh Counselling @OllamhC]

Green, and nature, exudes a natural aura/chemical that alleviates anxiety! If you are able try and get a dose of green. If you can't, time for your community to come together to greenify your home, with accessibility in mind.
